Counting money is easy – but how do we place a value on a healthy body, a vibrant neighbourhood or a flourishing environment? Measuring Progress goes beyond the GDP to explore ways of measuring our ecological and social assets.

A healthy environment requires healthy cities. By conserving the architectural heritage of the built environment, we also conserve natural resources, prevent urban sprawl and provide appealing spaces for urban residents. Building Heritage explores these issues while drawing inspiration from the past.

Deluding Ourselves - William E. ReesWhat we need is a good dose of realism.
